Bella, Renee & Bella's Wig Filming Florida Scenes Today!

See more pics of KStew, Sarah Clarke, David Slade, and KStew's WIG at Lainey.

Shooting today – Kristen Stewart’s “Bella” with her mom played by Sarah Clarke who arrived yesterday in Vancouver shooting a scene that’s supposed to be “Florida” at a beach house while “Edward” hides inside from sun.

Something is distracting me about the hairline on the wig. Is it just me?

The wig could be worse ;) Recall all the bad wigs in Twilight?? It's just not ever gonna be as good as her real hair. I wonder why she thought it was ok to jack her hair all up for the other film she was making, but didn't care about what she'd look like in Eclipse?

That wig is so horrible. She looks like she's wearing a vampire wig like in those old vampire movies. Why on earth did she cut all her hair off when she knew she had two, maybe three more movies. Does this mean we have to suffer through the bad wig for three more movies? Gah. That's so horrible. Wouldn't it have been easier to just use a wig on the set of the Runaways ...? Because her mullet looked like a wig anyway. And she cut off that long, glorious hair for what? For dedication to her craft? For dedication to one movie instead of three others?

The wig COULD be worse, but wouldn't you think that they would stay consistent and actually attempt to match it to her hair color in the other two movies? They talk about how her hair has some red in it when she's out in the sun and it looks like she's in the sun, yet I see NO red - am I just nitpicking? I agree that she should have worn a wig for The Runaways because the mullet was/is HORRIBLE!!

She looks TERRIBLE and that wig is very distracting. It is so obnoxious that she is fine to chop her hair into a mess for the Runaways (which I'm sure she got paid nothing for but which she thinks is 'acting') and refuses to have extensions for Twilight which she's getting like $10M for. Extensions would fix the whole thing, the studio should just make her get them!

Come on guys, what's with the negativity AGAIN? Yes, the hairline does not look good, but other than that it looks just fine. It could've been way, way worse. And the biggest problem is that we all know it's a wig, that knowing makes it look worse. And it'll look different in the movie than in the pics.

Stop complaining her cutting her hair. I understand completely why she did that and if you would think a bit you would understand it too. It will probably take a year before they'll start shooting BD so her hair will grow.

I think Kristen did a big mistake when she decided to cut her hair.I agree that the mullet looked like a wig,anyway,but this wig is horrible.It's like she's having a dead animal on her head!And what about summit?Didn't they give more money to buy a better quality of wig.It's Hollywood!That's the best they could do?The hairstylist must be fired immediately.I think Eclipse is gonna stink.

Not that kristen will ever read this, but I feel terrible for just writing that her wig looks horrible; let me correct my statement by saying she's a beautiful girl! Absolutely gorgeous, but that wig is just ... creeptastic. I hope the studio reads this blog though and does something about it. Maybe they can do some sort of animated hair during the editing process?

Like I said -- I don't think it's terrible -- just weird. If you look at pictures of her side-by-side (New Moon/Twilight vs. this new pic) you can see that it's close color-wise, but much too thick to be her natural hair. And yes, the hairline is all wrong.

I think it looks so bad because it is a candid photo. There will be filming lights, cimenatgraphic tape, and don't forget KStew'll be ACTING. I'll bet when Bella is telling her mother that she loves Edward none of us will even remember that we don't like the wig now.

Kristen said in a recent interview that her reason for cutting off her hair for The Runaways was to get "under Joan's skin" and that in order to really become her, she thought it was necessary. Also, she thought a mullet wig over all of her hair would be distracting and feel like a "helmet". Obviously she's a method actor. Some people shave their heads for a role, and let's be honest, knowing K-Stew, she'd do THAT if it were necessary. That's how dedicated she is... also, although Twilight means everything to all of us, these films aren't the only projects she feels passionate about and dedicated to.

I agree, I don't think it's the best wig out there...but she is a beautiful girl so whatever. I love Kristen but come on guys, the wig isn't going to make or break this movie. Who's really looking at her hair anyway? Maybe they can do some touching up in the editing ;)

Ok, the wig is horrible!! You can definitely tell that it is a wig! I agree with other readers; it is the hairline that makes it all wrong. It looks to thick at the hairline to even be close to looking like real hair. Now I am afraid that we will all be distracted by her stupid wig instead of focusing on the movie when it comes out. Which is too bad because Eclipse was my favorite book!! Don't get me wrong I am sure the movie will still be great and Kristen will still be good in it but that wig is just HORRIBLE!!!!

Hey, she was surviving for quite a few years making meaningful projects and caring about them before she even signed on to do this. Knowing her personality and how private she is and how it's not so much about the celebrity for her as it is about the substance of her work, I wouldn't be surprised if part of her regreted becoming Bella to begin with. Just watch the poor video of her pumping gas and being harrassed. You don't think she'd go back to the days of The Cake Eaters when she could step out her house without an entourage of security?

OK. Time to skewer me everyone!! (What? meeting and acting with Rob doesn't make all of this worth it??)

Well I'm much happier seeing this pic of her in the wig than the graduation pic's. It'll work for me. She looks cute like always. The makeup is different... again. Every movie they look slightly different because of the different makeup artists. I love her look in new moon, very pretty!

OK, since no one has freaked yet about the backing out of Twilight comment, let me also say that you know it must be a slow day, and we must be pretty damn hungry to be losing it over a wig. The movie will be amazing. Kristen will be amazing. Who gives a rat's ass about her hairline. She's gorgeous. and the only reason that anyone is micro-analyzing it is because she's looked like a 70s rocker for the last 3 months and no one's used to it. We have to get reaquinted with Bella's Kristen, and not the badass who showed up at Comic-Con. (and finally, yes, she is a "method" actress in that she cares about experiencing what the character experiences and changes herself accordingly. Not getting hung up on which movie she's going to cut her hair off for...and if you think she gives a crap about winning an Ocsar either, you're probably wrong.)

I agree with pretty much 95% of everybody here. The wig is not very becoming. Its sadly reminiscent of Jacob's Twilight wig! WTF Summit?! You have unlimited resources and that's the best you could find? Come on look some more! Heck take Jacob's NM wig and curl it at the ends, perhaps that would look better?! It's the hairline that's bad and the fact that its puffy on top doesn't help either.....

However, I don't blame Kristen 'bout this whole matter. Its not like she knew she was going to have to wear that God awful thing on her head! I'm sure she thought Summit and the hair people would take care of her. It really annoys me that people are attacking Kristen for this. Yeah yeah, I know how dare she cut her locks for the Runaways. Who would have known that THIS is what they'd come up with for Bella's wig? Jeeez!

P.S. I am really happy they kept the Florida scenes between Renee and Bella 'cuz I liked that banter back and fourth b/w them.And........Woot Woot .....Go Florida!!!

Yeah its kinda off but in all fairness i really like kstews mullet hair!? and yeah i know she only did it for runaways but stilllll. its her hair guys- like i realise she her needs long-ish hair to play bella the wig looks grand. i dont blame her,..if you want to blame some1 how about summit? i dont really like summit though because they cut the one who played victoria

Kstew looks soo young with the wig and really straight centre parting.. its pretty like

i dont see what is SOOOOOOO damn bad with it?!its not the same sure but it makes her look cuter more vulnerable ... kinda like bella sposed ta be...just sayin

nobody cares about the wig... 20 mins into the movie your not gonna be thinking about the wig.... and if you are your paranoid!? it would kinda make a difference if she had turned her skin blue but its her hair dudes.. relax ...

The wig looked fine in the graduation pictures,even if it does look a bit Jacob-esque here, although really, it's not so different from her hair in Twilight, it's just she usually always has a headband on.

people have nothin better to be doin that they are throwing fits over a wig... unless your kstew - which your more than likely not - you didnt have to wear the stupid ichy thing .. so whats the tantrum about?

Anonymous 4:19 PM the hitch part was funny! hahaha I wish they were more careful with details like this! She's beautiful but come on! She's Bella and she doesn't look like the Bella in New Moon! This is one of the most important books of the saga and they need to keep that in mind!

The wig committed suicide! That's hilarious people. Really funny. I think we should just talk all day about the wig because it's fun as hell, and yes, we apparently have nothing better to do. So yeah. More wig talk. please. I love you people.

I, for one, definitely have nothing better to do. And the wig looks bad and it's annoying that she refuses to get extensions (per an earlier Lainey post) and dye her hair. A stylist in LA or NY could easily fix it but they are using hair people in Vancouver because even after Twilight the studio is cheap - just like the wig lol

Why some people react as if we were ditching Kristen for expressing the wig is bad?... we are not criticizing Kristen, we are criticizing the hair and make up department.A good wig counts, if you read the interviews with Taylor you will see how much he had to answer about the bad wig that was used on him in Twilight or how much Rob had to answer in interviews about the lack of continuity in his vampire make up or his bouffant hair, which explains why his hair is shorter for NM and Eclipse. I expect with the filming and lighting the wig on Kristen will look better, for her own sake, or she will be have to be responding on a lot of her interviews in the feature, about a bad wig which if the fault of the hair and make up department and not hers, just like happened to Rob or Taylor.

I think the wig is actually really very good. In fact when you compare images side by side (http://arandomchic.hyperchat.com/bellahair.jpg), I don't think the average person would ever notice.

The only reason people here are so "upset" is that they know what she normally looks like. Once the movie actually comes out, I'm guessing most people will totally forget they ever bitched about the wig in the first place.

OMG, there are so many comments on Bella's wig! Is that why her face looks funny? I'd have to compare that picture to her real hair, but seriously... curse you Joan Jett permanent dye and mullet! I guess it's too late now to bitch about it though.

I am laughing my butt off! Of all things that are wrong in this world...Her Wig!? Granted the hairline looks off, but it is not that horrible. All we have seen are a few pics from the set and everyone is freaking out. I don't know about you, but when I go to watch Eclipse...her hair will be the LAST thing I am thinking about.

BTW, we don't own Kristin's hair, body or soul! If she wants to cut her hair for a role, go for it! She cares about the Twilight films, but she also has other interests...

The hair sucks, period. Of all the complicated and expensive special effects they produce on film, they can't do something as simple as make a wig look more natural? I want to get lost in the story as a whole, not in the bits and pieces that put it together. It's like watching a dance routine and listening to the dancers count the steps! Call it trivial if you like, but I don't want to be staring at her hairline the entire time she's talking.

I, for one, will criticize all I want since I am contributing to Summit getting rich. Secondly, I really don't have anything else to do right now than to discuss the wig. What is interesting to me, if this was any other cast member that we're commenting on, nobody would moralize like they do when it comes to KStew. Suddenly there is a crowd defending KStew when it's sooo clear that wig IS NOT WORKING - I don't care on who's head that thing is. I swear people are in such denial that they would applaud and cheer if she smeared shit all over her head. However, she is a lead in this movie that will be present on the screen for most of the movie and something has to be said or done. A fact.And I will criticize KStew (yes you heard me) when I say she didn't think things through when getting that mullet. It screams Rebel without a cause.

I think if it wasn't for the fact that I KNEW it's a wig, it wouldn't bother me. But because I KNOW it is, I notice it all the more. Why couldn't Kristen have worn a wig for the Joan Jett movie, knowing that her hair is really important to Bella's character. Oh well. Too late for that I guess. I just pray to God that David knows what the hell he's doing. Looks like he's got one hell of a tough act to follow with Chris. GODSPEED DAVE!

This movie will not be based on Bella's hairline. In the grand scheme of things this is not the most awlful thing that could be causing so much controversy. I think the picture above looks like a double- but I'm sure when the acting on screen is in motion we(audience-fans) will not be looking at Bella's hair (hairline) we'll be focused on the storyline- which better live up to the f##n book!!

The wig is not working at all. What I don't understand is why didn't they put extensions and then dye all of her hair the same color brown. Ashley Greene has done many photoshoots with extensions and you can't even tell that she has short hair. Why don't they hire the people that do Ashley Greene's extensions, please, oh please.. Kristen is way too pretty to use this wig for Eclipse. Eclipse is such an important part of the Twilight Saga... How can we send David Slade a twitter, I'm willing to do it...

she should have used a wig for the runaways, but thats kristen for you, its ok she's young and thinks she has something to prove, in a couple of years she'll lighten up and realize she doesnt have to come off so serious for people to take her seriously

WTF!!!!! bellaz wig lookz like crap david really needs to get a better looking wig ,,therez gonna be a lot of disappoinment fanz,,,, hopfully he does a good job in eclipse ,,, cuz hez doing a shitty job already

It's not just the wig. The clothes the director is having the characters wear is atrocious. What is Bella wearing here? It looks so 80s. And the jacket that Edward was wearing last week during filming was straight out of the movie Grease. This director needs to get with the program. You have to make your actors look BETTER not WORSE. That's his job. Kristen's still beautiful but damn; this director has really bad taste in clothes and wigs.

The wig sucks. Big time. I agree with others that it's a shame she chose to cut her hair for her Joan Jett role when the end result of that little adventure looked like a wig anyway.

Now they've chosen a wig for her that looks like it came from the discount rack at Wal-Mart. It's monochromatic with no red highlights and the hairline screams "LOOK AT ME - I'M A CHEAP POS WIG!!"

The hairline is straight across her forehead, making her forehead look like a perfectly rectangular billboard. Also the thickness of the hair up top exacerbates the weirdness of the hairline. It's so thick (and cheap) that it doesn't lay right and kind of piles up like a country-western star's "big hair". Not as big as that, but reminiscent of the style.

the wig does indeed suck bad, it seems they've altered her natural hair line around her forehead and I think that is what sticks out so badly. it just looks sad and cheap. sorry but I think it is distracting. remember, only a few months is supposed to have passed between eclipse and nm. lets all pray they'll be able to fix it somehow with post production. i say good for her for cutting her hair--f all of us, but now its time to get serious about this movie too (take a hint hair & makeup, you are about to be unemployable) or maybe someone, ie the director, needs to tell kstew to suck it up and deal with uncomfortable extensions--I mean that wig cant feel that much better. sides I think she has had extensions in the other movies already, non?

Come on now everyone... I agree that the hairline needs to be fixed BIG TIME! What the hell are these hairstylists standing around and doing nothing being on set getting paid loads of money if they can't fix a single hairline... It's true that extensions would've been a better bet but you really can't force a person to do it. If K-Stew isn't comfortable having extensions on her hair, she's not comfortable...

The more I see it, the wig doesn't really brings out how beautiful K-Stew is... I looked at the picture & I barely recognized her!!

@ anonymous 10:37pm: Excellent observation! KStew is still young, not mature as she's trying to be. Someone has to tell that girl that it's alright to act like you're 19 when you are 19. No need to prove anything. Cutting your hair doesn't make you a better actor, the internal transformation does.If the reason she cut her hair was to get more in touch with her inner Joan Jett, then my guess is she can't be feeling much of Bella with that horror on her head.

So...what? you want them to film the scenes with Bella/Kristen in them AGAIN just because you dont like a wig that makes her look very sweet and pretty?Honesty, you guys are arrogant and insane.yes the hairline could use a fix up but they are probably getting around to it. Its not the end of the world.

jesus its not like its kristens fault that the wig isnt 'the best wig ever', people need to cut the girl some slack! you all probably wont even notice the wig when you see the film.this whole wig-gate is kinda funny

My problem with the wig is that it obviously IS a wig...so how can I concentrate on Edward running his hands lovingly through Bella's locks when I know his fingers are running into staples or paper clips or Elmer's glue or whatever the hell they hold that thing on with...

I don't understand how a lot of people here are annoyed and opposed to criticism. It's a fact that this wig is bad. Why shouldn't we, as fans, criticize it? I, for one, WILL notice it on film.I respect all the opinions of others who don't have a problem with the wig, so you might return the favor.

anonymous i don`t think you know what your saying i guess you are one of those people who just like her to be bella and nothing else i`m really happy that she cut her hair tat proves she is a really serious actress and she did care for the fans just no for the whole crazyness

Shut the hell up and stop moaning...Its not kristen stewart who decided to cut all her hair off and use a bad wig, she HAD to for runaways, and the costume department is responsible for that monstrosity so leave her be.

She did not HAVE to cut her hair for runaways! Who told you that? Actresses routinely keep their hair long for roles and wear short wigs because it takes so long to grow their hair back. If Joan Jett folks wanted her for runaways, I'm sure they would've been amenable to a wig, since that black mullet looked like a wig anyway. Besides, who is going to watch runaways except to see Kristen Stewart? And Joan Jett's hair is fugly: it was then and it is now. So what they did to her hair for runaways is a crime. A studio should know better. It's just wrong. It's a cruel joke. Especially since they knew she had more Twilight movies, where she's expected to look like a pretty girl not lesbian Joan Jett. (Makes me wonder whether Joan herself suggested she cut it.) And nobody is picking on Kristen; if you read the posts above, you'll see that we all think she's lovely and beautiful, in spite of the f-ed up hair. And yes that horrible wig on her head is a monstrosity.

i wish they would replace that wig with hair extensions instead..atleast she wont look different from her potrayal of Bella from the first two movies..it would definitely look more natural compared to that thingy
